I Hate: "I Was Born a Boy"
Hi Kelly,
I love Going Out. It was certainly a relief and it made me feel much better.
The "I was a boy" thing...... I guess it's my insecurity that makes the statement so uncomfortable. I'm not good at "reading" people and figuring the best way to tell hard truths. I guess "I was born a boy" does have some shock value; the other person is very unlikely to misunderstand. I just don't know when a shocking statement is more effective than a milder, less shocking, but harder to understand statement.
Saying "I was a boy" seems so unfair. It's like, what boy would do what i've done to my body? Whether the statement is true all depends on definitions. If there are only 2 sexes and nothing in between, then, no, I wasn't a normal girl. OTOH, the 2 sexes mind set is obviously wrong; there are births where the sex is hard to determine and babies that have parts indentified with both sexes. The path of my T level and the shape of my body are fairly out of the male range, but I doubt that I'm XXY or PAIS. etc. I just feel that I was an in-betweener. I don't know if our condition counts as intersex (fem brain, guy plumbing),but, to me that seems a better description of how I or we were/are.
Obviously this doesn't have much to do with your latest story and only a little to with Coming Out. I still think you are an awesome author that we a lucky to have contribute.
Hugs and Bright Blessings,
Renee
Never was a boy.
People like her should have a strategy to gradually reveal one's self. I used to play with a little girl when I was 6 who said she had to have some surgery to fix her girl parts. Her last name was Carol Brown. After her surgery, I never saw her again. From time to time, I have wondered how she was?
It is my sincerest hope that in time, we will all be identified before we start school and attend school as the proper gender.
I'm a little curious about the use of progesterone. No one ever offered them to me; wonder what they do?
The term Trans-sexual should be abandoned as soon as possible. It is prejudicial.
great story such a romantic
great story such a romantic and cute ending i loved it even though it made me cry :)
Thank You Kelly
Kelly,
It's important for me to remember, sometimes things do work out.
Sometimes I am so damned sure someone hates me. It ties me in knots, and scares the bejeebers out of me. Sometimes it's even family who I am think I'm so far away from. I'm so different from what family expects me to be. I get so scared, so angry, and so sure I'm just dog vomit to them, and I just want to run away and hide.
Then, as happened between my oldest child and I this week, he apologized, he made me understand sometimes things do work out.
Kelly, thank you. I loved this, it was little like looking through a mirror.
Blessings, Love, and Hugs,
Tante Bettina
Thank You
I enjoyed both "Coming Out" and "Going Out". I understand an author's desire to explore different issues and to let the reader decide/imagine how a story will end. With that understanding the ending of "Coming Out" is fine. However, I prefer the "and they lived happily ever after" ending of "Going Out". For me, reading is an escape,. When I find an author that provides that escape and satisfying endings, I usually read more of that author's works. That's what is happening now. I've been reading and enjoying Kelly's current series; so, I've been reading some of her older works which have mostly entertained and satisfied me.
Kelly, thank you for sharing. I'm glad I found you.
